Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 50 Martial Spirit Evolution
Several people followed Wu Changkong out of the Spirit Pagoda and onto the soul guide bus bound for East China Academy. It was just seven o'clock in East China City. The sun had just risen, and the sunlight streamed in through the windows, making everyone feel relaxed and refreshed.

This time, the harvest in the Spirit Ascension Platform was enormous. It was filled with a cheerful atmosphere and laughter could be heard constantly.

The atmosphere between Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie was particularly cheerful. Gu Yue and Wang Jinxi would occasionally exchange a few words.

As soon as Tang Wulin got in the car, he sat next to Wu Zhangkong and whispered, "Teacher Wu, I got a chance to enter the Riot Stage Spirit Ascension Platform from the Blacksmith Association. What do you think I should do?"

"Hmm?" Wu Zhangkong was a little surprised for a moment. Being able to get a ticket to the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform from the Blacksmith, Tang Wulin seemed to have a good talent for forging!
Wu Zhangkong thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to go in for now. Your soul should have reached the limit of its mental strength by now, right? The number and strength of the soul beasts in the Soul Ascension Platform are constantly increasing. You won't gain much by going in. Even if you gain spiritual power, you won't be able to absorb it. Keep this ticket to the Soul Ascension Platform during the Riot Period for your next entry, or sell it! Aren't you short of money? It should bring you a lot of funds!"

After hearing Wu Zhangkong's words, Tang Wulin chuckled and said, "Teacher Wu, I don't know of any good ways. Could you point me to a convenient place?"

Wu Zhangkong was stunned. He didn't expect Tang Wulin to be waiting for him here. He said, "Forget it. I'll take you to the auction in a couple of days and show you the way."

Tang Wulin said gratefully, "Thank you, Teacher Wu!"

Seeing that Tang Wulin and Wu Changkong had finished their conversation, Lin Xingyu stepped forward and said, "Teacher Wu, I gained a lot from my time at the Spirit Ascension Platform. I would like to discuss this with you in private."

Wu Zhangkong looked at Lin Xingyu, nodded, and said, "Come to my office when we get to school."

"it is good!"

After a brief exchange, Lin Xingyu and Wu Changkong had no more words to say. The scene outside the window quickly ran backwards, and soon they returned to Donghai College.

The others returned to the dormitory, and Lin Xingyu followed Wu Changkong to his office.

After entering the office, Lin Xingyu closed the door casually and looked around to see that there was no one else there.

Wu Zhangkong turned around and looked at Lin Xingyu and said, "What's the matter?"

"Teacher Wu, look!" Lin Xingyu had just finished speaking when he extended his right hand. At the same time, the soul power in his body rushed along the meridians towards his right hand.

Five dark golden rays of light suddenly spurted out from the tips of his five fingers. Each ray was straight and slender, a foot long, just like five well-forged daggers, sharp and dazzling.

These five sharp blades, formed by the condensation of soul power, are tightly wrapped in a layer of lively dark golden light. The light seems to have life, moving happily along the contours of the blades, shining brightly.

At the moment when the light suddenly appeared, the surrounding air seemed to be unable to bear the weight, making a series of subtle yet sharp "sizzling" sounds, as if a huge rock was thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples, and as if it was torn apart by this indestructible blade. Folds of air that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye spread rapidly around with the blade as the center.

At the same time, a sharp aura emanated.

“Dark Gold Terror Claw!” Wu Zhangkong’s pupils shrank, and his usually icy expression changed for the first time. “Is this what you got after killing that Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear in the Living Beings Arena?”

Lin Xingyu had considered telling Wu Changkong about this. First of all, this matter could not be concealed. The staff of the Soul Ascension Platform would sooner or later discover the loss of this soul bone. When the time came, they would check the records and it would be clear who had the soul bone.

It would definitely not be possible to do what Tang Wulin did in the original novel. After taking this soul bone, Tang Wulin went directly to Shrek Academy. There, outside forces could not trouble him. Shrek Academy was definitely protective of its students. And he would have to stay at East China Academy for the next two and a half years! He couldn't run away, so he needed to have a sufficient background.

Wu Zhangkong is a very good person and treats his students well. For the time being, I will rely on Wu Zhangkong to support them. After a few days, I will find a force to join.

"This is an external soul bone! Aren't you afraid I might get greedy?" Wu Changkong asked. External soul bones are the most special of all soul bones, growing stronger as the soul master's cultivation increases. As long as the soul master continues to grow stronger, external soul bones can rival or even surpass a hundred thousand year soul bone! The right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is top-tier among external soul bones! If this external soul bone is lost, the Spirit Pagoda will definitely investigate!

"I believe in Teacher Wu!"

Wu Zhangkong felt a warm sensation at Lin Xingyu's words. After a moment's thought, he said, "No one should have noticed this yet. I'll tell Dean Yu Zhen about your performance. We paid for the entrance to the Spirit Ascension Platform, so it's only natural that we'll get rewards from killing spirit beasts. If anyone from the Spirit Pagoda comes, Dean Yu Zhen will help you resolve it. Come to me tomorrow, and I'll help you completely fuse this external spirit bone! But you'll probably be incurring a huge debt!"

Lin Xingyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher Wu, but I feel like I'm going to do a deep meditation next. This feeling is very strong, and I should be able to completely integrate this external soul bone soon." As for the debt to be repaid in the future, will this debt be a problem in the future? Lin Xingyu still has confidence in himself. He will definitely be able to repay it easily in the future! If there is a problem, it will be his future self who will have to worry about it!
In a few days, I will completely absorb this external soul bone, and there will be no way to peel it off. They can only make me pay back my debt!

"That's easy. Go back to your dorm and meditate right now. Don't waste this opportunity. I'll talk to the dean and get some support!" Although somewhat surprised that Lin Xingyu could accurately sense the next time he would meditate deeply, Wu Zhangkong explained the next solution. After that, he left the office.

After leaving Wu Changkong's office, Lin Xingyu went straight back to his dormitory. He had not been deceiving Wu Changkong when he said that he had sensed an opportunity. However, he had not sensed the aura of deep meditation either. Instead, he felt that his martial soul was about to evolve!
Before, Lin Xingyu clearly realized his various desires and accepted the reality that he was just a mortal, thus seeing his true nature. The evolution of his martial soul was greatly improved, but after all, it was just a little bit short!
Moreover, over the past three months, Lin Xingyu had been meditating constantly and exchanging blood, and he was just a little bit away from the second awakening of his martial soul! Now, with the soul bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in his hands, although Lin Xingyu felt that the soul bone had only slightly improved his body, it completely made up for the evolution of his martial soul!

Lin Xingyu took a last look at the surrounding environment, and directly activated the "high-dimensional vision" and entered a state of meditation.

As soon as the "high-dimensional vision" was activated, Lin Xingyu felt that his field of vision was constantly rising, and the whole person was as if he had entered the God's perspective. However, unlike the God's perspective, Lin Xingyu relied on his own perception to determine the scope of the "high-dimensional vision". The "high-dimensional vision" could not see any places that his own perception of the outside world could not perceive.

But through the "high-dimensional vision", as if he had a pair of eyes that transcended the mundane world, Lin Xingyu's perception instantly penetrated the numerous barriers of the body, whether it was the subtle tremor of the capillaries under the skin, or the texture hidden deep in the bones, or even every subtle rhythm between the internal organs, every corner inside and outside the body was clearly visible and presented in his consciousness.

Not only that, he could also see clearly the trajectory of the soul power flowing through the meridians like a gurgling stream, every subtle surge and circling, without missing anything.

The moment he entered his "high-dimensional vision," Lin Xingyu's senses seemed to be suddenly sharpened, and he could clearly perceive the fluctuations of his martial spirit. In an instant, the free fire and gold elements in the air, as if drawn by an invisible force, swarmed around Lin Xingyu.

In the deepest, boundless depths of the spiritual sea, everything was shrouded in a hazy light, tranquil and mysterious. Suddenly, without warning, the light symbolizing the martial spirit erupted, like a supernova about to burn out, suddenly surging in intensity.

The strong light was like a raging flame, spreading rapidly with the force of a tidal wave, becoming dazzling and blinding. Every ray of light seemed to contain endless energy, as if it wanted to completely ignite and burn this spiritual sea that carried the soul and power, turning it into a melting pot of energy.

As the spirit evolved, the sea of ​​​​spirit was filled with the domineering aura of conquest, the bloody slaughter, the violent destruction, the chilling chill of death, the mad chaos, and all kinds of extremely terrifying auras overflowed wildly, interweaving and colliding like surging tides. The smell of iron and blood, the heat of knife and fire, fiercely blended and surged in the spiritual realm, filled with the terrifying atmosphere of the coming of doomsday.

At the same time, a powerful force of qi and blood flows continuously along the texture of the skin, the veins of the bones, the surrounding of the internal organs, and the channels of the meridians. Wherever it passes, every tiny corner of the body is carefully "caressed" by it, without stopping for a moment.

As it rushes forward, the sound it makes is like the earth-shaking roar of a dragon. The sound penetrates the numerous barriers of the body, carrying endless vitality and strength, echoing in every inch of flesh and blood, every cell, as if calling out to every cell in the body, conveying vigorous vitality.

It makes Lin Xingyu even more "inhuman"!
In the blink of an eye, the entire room seemed to be swept into purgatory by a mysterious force, transforming into a blazing furnace. A heat wave surged outward from Lin Xingyu's center, spreading like a wild horse, and the temperature in the room soared like a wild horse. The air was twisted and distorted, as if it would be ignited by Lin Xingyu's tremendous energy in the next second, filling the air with a suffocating heat.

The martial soul, which originally looked like a set of cold armor, was now undergoing some earth-shaking changes. A phantom inside the armor kept flickering, appearing and disappearing from time to time. Upon closer inspection, it was actually the appearance of Lin Xingyu himself.

Gradually, as time passed, soul power, mental power, qi and blood power continued to merge into the martial soul, and the phantom became more and more real.

Finally, a shadow took shape. The spirit's second awakening was complete! No! It couldn't be called the spirit's second awakening; it would be more accurate to say it was a spirit evolution!
Now Lin Xingyu's martial soul is a thoroughly super martial soul. Lin Xingyu can even feel that he should have a martial soul domain, but it has not appeared because his soul power is too low. According to Lin Xingyu's estimation, the domain should appear when he is about level 50!
At this time, the martial soul is no longer a pure set of armor, inside the armor is Lin Xingyu himself! A real martial soul!
Lin Xingyu's martial spirit suddenly emerged, and a suit of armor instantly enveloped his entire body. His cape fluttered wildly, a blood-soaked crimson that was shocking. His energy and blood surged throughout his body, a terrifying surge that filled the air with chilling energy.

Instantly, the surrounding gold and fire elements, as if pulled by an invisible, powerful gravitational force, swarmed frantically toward Lin Xingyu's location. Like devout subjects paying homage to their king, these elements spun around him in an orderly yet eager manner, rapidly circling him.

Previously, Lin Xingyu's manipulation of the gold and fire elements had required considerable effort, each movement accompanied by difficult trials and cautious exploration. However, now his control over them had reached a state of unparalleled ease. With a single thought, the elements flexed according to his will, condensing into sharp blades or transforming into blazing flames, as if they had already become a part of him, connected to his thoughts.
